Helping you achieve your goals as a percussionist

HISTORY

The Double Beat Percussion Scholarship was started in 2017 with a single award of $2500. This scholarship was started by a single drum corps alum who struggled to pay tour fees when he was marching, and we want to help people achieve their drum corps dreams by easing that struggle a little bit.
